DallasCeramicPot 210 September 28, 2020 I'm curious to see the table layout of TCC cards this year (if they do them)! I wanna see how many stickers each Group Leader gives each TCC. It was kinda interesting seeing Season 14's snippet of the camera panning over the table with Kelli and Judy in the room with the 4 GLs. Some TCCs got all of the stickers, some *heavily coughs* Lisa *chokes* got none. Super curious and eager ehehee 6 Share this post Link to post

He came in at the beginning of camp, saw them dance to his choreo and a pom routine they had learned. Now, he doesn't see them do kicks, jump splits, isn't there for media training, so won't know who has the full package or not. Plus, how many said they didn't think Meredith was ready? And you saw Kelli give them stink eye🤣 and Meredith made the team. 9 Share this post Link to post

I wouldnt stand up for my colleages if it means that I lose my job (depending on the issue but 99% of the time those issues are not my business) DCC is a job after all I have and would. If standing up would mean losing a job where I would be siding with a rascist employer or one putting people at medical risk. I have and I would again. Because people deserve better and I wouldn't want to be associated with that anyway. I have a feeling some dancers plan to stay for 5 years but quit after 1-2 years once they get to know the organisation better. And that doesn't just apply to the DCC, there's a lot of turnover in most teams. 30 1 Share this post Link to post

I LOVE that Bridget spoke up! Just rewatched "Daughters of the Sexual Revolution: The Untold Story of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders". Alumni have lost their status, mainly the ones that posed topless for Playboy in the mid to late 70's. Now, Bridget didn't go that far, but as mercurial as Kelli's decisions can be about the women on the team, it wouldn't surprise me if she did cancel Bridget's status, just for daring to speak her mind.
